Parallel
James 3:5
King James Version (1769 Blayney revision, with Apocrypha) · Berean Standard Bible
Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter (note: Or, wood) a little fire kindleth!
In the same way, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it boasts of great things. Consider how small a spark sets a great forest ablaze.
